Crow Calls Twice
(2021) is an installation with a short documentary video and cushions in lively forms for sitting. With Leipzig, Germany as its geographical grounding point, the video weaves a story of becoming-with and making-with by combining interviews with humans in deep relation with crows and poetic fabulations by the video’s narrator. The video cautiously navigates expressions of multi-species care and friendship while curiously troubling binaries and established knowledge practices during a time of crisis.The video was supported by the KdFS, Die Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen wird mitfinanziert durch Steuermittel auf der Grundlage des vom Sächsischen Landtag beschlossenen Haushaltes.
